A cute clean beach cottage walking distance to the beautiful beach. The owners have done a wonderful job making our stay very comfortable and homey. Not to mention we were able to bring our dog. Definitely hope to stay again soon.
The house was just as shown in the pictures. It is close to everything you need, stores, attractions, restaurants! Ashley is the best Host we have ever had. She is available to help anyway she can if you have a problem. She is friendly and caring. We totally recommend booking one of her houses!
This house is perfect for our little family. It is so well stocked with everything you will need for a week at the beach! Owner is super easy to work with.
Beautiful beaches, quiet neighborhood and if you really wanted to shop…lots of shopping. We just enjoyed the beach and having family to share the Holiday with.
An amazing week enjoy sun, sand and surf. Location is fantastic and we enjoyed all the local activities. Thank you for a great week look forward to next year.
Great place! One block from beach. Had all the amenities we wanted. Many activities to do nearby. Highly recommend a Waccamaw River tour, Brookgreen Gardens and historical Georgetown. Would definitely stay here again.
Another wonderful stay at the Half Shell.. this has all the comforts of home and then some. When it comes to cleanliness and care for this home, Ashley crosses the T’s and dots the I’s ..Just a short walk to the beach.. and local eateries . This is our second time staying here, but our 5th year with Ashley .. Sandy Feet just next door is where we normally stay with a larger group. You won’t be disappointed staying at either. I won’t book anywhere else when traveling to Surfside. Til next time .. best memories are made at the beach
We really enjoyed our stay here. Great location and everything we needed was there.
Ashley was great with communicating with me when I had questions.
Nice quiet neighborhood- would definitely recommend!
We have stayed here before. We love the location and it’s the perfect size for my husband, mother in law, and myself along with our two little dogs. The home is comfortable and clean. All amenities are close by and the beach is so close. We had such a wonderful stay and will come back again!
